I Samuel 29:3
The Scripture
(3) Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?

Achish reluctantly sent David and his men back to Ziklag, sparing David from having to fight against his own people.
